Title Photocatalytic Ring Opening of a-Epoxyketones: 1, 3-Dioxolane Formation
Type JournalPaper
Keywords Photocatalytic ring opening; a-epoxyketones; 1, 3-dioxolane; 2,4,6-triphenypyrylium tetrafluoroborate
Abstract Photocatalytic ring opening of a-epoxyketones by 2,4,6-triphenypyrylium tetrafluoroborate (TPT) in acetone resulted in the formation of 1, 3-dioxolane as major products through C-O bond cleavage and the formation of alcoholic by-product through C-C bond cleavage. The type and nature of the substituents affect the rate of ring opening.
